As far as the wall, construction began, delayed by lefty lawsuits and then killed by your boy Joey B.
Construction began? With what and whose money? How much money was appropriated? Try zero except for a ten or so mile experimental wall which looked ugly.
I call the proclamation an end to the MAGA nonsense. Do you even know how long the border is and how much of that land is in private hands? Lawsuits will keep it bottled up for ever.
Here in the Bay Area, the BART extension to SFO was delayed for over thirty years and a cross town expressway through San Jose was delayed by over ten years by just one town. And only recently the BART is extended to South Bay!
And a 1,000 mile+ border and you are blaming Biden to shut down the plan?

And there are justifiable rumors to the effect that Trump is twisting BiBi's hands and succeeding in killing the Gaza peace plan. Read yesterday that BiBi insists Israel keeps it's forces in Gaza which will always be denied, foreign boots on Muslim land.

1,954 miles to be exact. But Trump is a self-proclaimed master-builder with all the requisite experience. I guess being a fraudster is not that much help in managing a huge public works project. Who knew?
BTW, my eldest son personally knew the (extremely well-qualified and competent) Chief of Engineers who accompanied Trump at his photo-op at the new piece of border wall near San Diego. He told my son how much of an incompetent idiot Trump was, completely clueless about construction (no surprise there).

This site really needs a like button. The only effective way to deal with someone who is a troll is to starve him of the attention he so desperately craves and needs.
To be honest, I'm about to break out my pruning shears and bench a few members.
Get a grip, fellas.

His defense of Trump dissing Medal of Honor winners was a troll too far and didn't bring out the best in me.  I guess I'll cut back on calling him a submoronic shitheel.

Thanks Finn, I remember pictures of the site in SD when the Moron showed up for the photo op. Also vaguely remember the cartoon showing a ladder over the wall depicting tall wall and a taller ladder. Not that it would have stopped people coming across unless the entire wall is patrolled 24/7 which will take thousands of guards and still not have any effect because they will dig tunnels.
The real dishonesty here is that we need this immigrant labor and as long as they can come across, they will find jobs. And if they remain illegal, they are akin to indentured labor working minimum wage.
I am convinced the whell is posting garbage on this thread to deflect the fact the DNC is having a ball, Harris is shining, Walz is mesmerizing his audiences while Trump is pouting and posting his usual vitriolic messages. Trump is now a forgotten man and is a problem. I hope Ms. Harris kicks him to the curb at their debate.

During a September 2019 visit to a new section of border wall near San Diego, President Donald Trump said the wall was "wired so that we will know if somebody’s trying to break through." When Trump was asked to provide reporters with further details, LG Semonite cautioned him, "Sir, there could be some merit in not discussing that."
Fucking moron.
